Affordable Power for Host Communities Act requires electric utilities to discount rates by 20% for consumers in counties with certain generation.

The Affordable Power for Host Communities Act amends the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 to mandate a 20% discount on electric rates for consumers in counties housing specific generation facilities. These facilities, termed "covered generation facilities," must have a nameplate capacity of at least 5 megawatts and include hydroelectric, geothermal, biomass, solar, and wind generation facilities. The discount applies to electric consumers in "host counties" compared to those outside these counties.
